That is until an opportunity of a lifetime is presented to Lily which will take her overseas to the USA.

Adam’s role teaching high school English has been a part of his life for so long and the thought of upping sticks and moving across the Atlantic really doesn’t appeal.

Is this one obstacle too far for the best friends turned husband and wife?
